Project Overview
Project Title: Smart Solar Duplex – High-End Living with Integrated Technology
Location: Nigeria
Project Type: Residential – Duplex
Client Type: Private Homeowner
Services Rendered: Architectural Design, Smart Home Strategy, Phased Execution
Project Status: Completed
Phased Strategy for Precision Execution
To align with the client’s budget and customization goals, Cadright implemented a phased construction strategy:
- Phase 1: Structural shell, roof terrace, and essential services
- Phase 2: Interior luxury detailing, smart systems integration, and landscape completion
This approach allowed seamless coordination between core construction and advanced smart installations, ensuring technical precision while delivering on time and within budget.
Designed for Light, Airflow, and Ease
The home’s architecture responds to climate and comfort through deliberate spatial planning:
- Orientation: Maximized daylight without overheating, through east-west alignment
- Natural Ventilation: Operable windows and vertical airflow paths cool interior spaces passively
- Shading Elements: Deep eaves and pergolas on terraces reduce direct sun gain
Wide living spaces, a continuous open-plan ground floor, and a roof terrace create a bright, breathable atmosphere suited for both entertainment and daily life.
Smart Living, Seamlessly Embedded
Every system in this home was planned with smart automation in mind—giving residents full control of comfort, efficiency, and safety from their fingertips:
| Smart Area | Provision Highlights |
|---|---|
| Solar Energy | Inverter-ready system with solar panel zoning and battery integration options |
| Lighting | Motion-sensor lighting, app-based dimming scenes, and smart outdoor security lights |
| Climate Control | Zoned cooling system prepared for smart thermostats and app-managed temperature settings |
| Security | CCTV conduits, smart door lock wiring, and video intercom-ready points |
| Water Management | Automated tank monitoring, smart irrigation prep, and leak detection zones |
These upgrades ensure the home is not only future-proof but optimized for low energy costs and high peace of mind.
